Contested or Uncontested Divorce in California

To file for divorce, at least one spouse must be a resident of the state for the preceding six months and a resident of the county filed in for three. Once filed, a number of issues must be resolved. These include property division, alimony, child custody and child support. A divorce is uncontested when you and your spouse settle these issues amicably. However, if a dispute exists which prevents an agreement, your divorce is contested and must be resolved in court. However you're represented, your attorney plays a critical role in the outcome. Our office works closely with you to ensure that your case is resolved fairly and satisfactorily.

Experienced Property Division Attorney

Broadly speaking, any asset acquired and any income earned during marriage are presumed to be community property under California law. Separate property includes all property acquired before marriage, and property acquired during marriage by gift, devise, and bequest. Spouses typically take a one-half net share of community property and 100 percent share of their separate property upon divorce. Divorce attorneys are important in property division disputes because it is often unclear whether and how much certain property is separate or community. We rely on 15 years of experience to make certain the property division in your divorce is commensurate with your community and separate property interests.

Divorce Order Modification & Enforcement

Even after a divorce order has been entered, it may be necessary for its terms to be modified or enforced. Perhaps an asset has been omitted, or support and custody arrangements are unworkable. Maybe your divorce order is not being followed to the letter. Whatever the circumstances of your case, our office can help make sure the terms of your marriage dissolution are appropriate and properly followed.
